Nationally known and top rated auto defect and California personal injury lawyer Brian D. Chase serves injured plaintiffs with trust, passion, and results.

What Being An Injury Advocate Means to Brian Chase

Assisting injured people to obtain justice from big corporations when they manufacture dangerous products that cause injuries due to placing profit over safety.

Helping accident victims collect what they are due from insurance companies that believe they are solely in business to collect premiums, as opposed to the business of paying valid claims. The satisfaction of helping someone recover their life after an accident or injury, especially one from the wrongdoing of others. This is what matters most to Brian Chase.
